A block of mass m slides with velocity of 10 m/s on a rough horizontal surface. It comes to rest after converting a distance of 50 meters. If g is 10 m/sec2, then the coefficient of dynamic friction between the block and the surface is
Given,
Initial velocity, u=10ms−1
Displacement, s=50m
Final velocity, v=0
Acceleration of friction, a=μg=10μms−2
Apply second kinematic equation of motion,
v2−u2=2as
0−102=2(−10μ)×50
μ=0.1
Hence, coefficient of friction is 0.1
